UN Office of the Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide and the International Criminal Court Prosecutor: Investigate the Possibility that Israel is Committing the Crime of Genocide Against the Palestinian People

It gives me no pleasure to write this, but it must be clearly stated for the record: of late, top Israeli political and religious leaders have even incited genocide against the Palestinian people. Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef ruled in March that non-Jewish people, including Palestinians, have no right to live in the country.

… Most worrisome, this racist rhetoric is increasingly influencing the Israeli public, shifting it further and further to the far right. What human rights horrors could this lead to, if left unchecked?

In September 2014, in the aftermath of the Israel/Gaza conflict, he was drawn into a row over who was to blame with another Twitter user. He wrote: ‘Sounds like an admission that Israel is committing genocide and that you’re excusing it because of the Holocaust.’ Four years earlier, Mr MacDonald wrote: ‘Apartheid Israel has killed the two-state solution: the only future is a bi-national democratic Palestine.’
